US Patent:

20090144410, Jun 4, 2009

Filed:

Nov 30, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/948415

Inventors:

Glenn A. Fink - Richland WA, US
Brandon J. Carpenter - Kennewick WA, US

International Classification:

G06F 15/173
G06F 15/177

US Classification:

709224, 715734

Abstract:

Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture directed to the monitoring and visualizing of network traffic are disclosed. The network monitoring can include tracking data packets on a per process basis. As a data packet traverses a communications interface, it can be correlated with the process responsible for that data packet and a local process address can be logged providing a record of the packet and an associated source, destination, and process identifier. The visualizing can include generating a visual representation of network traffic and packet-process correlations.

International Classification:

H04L 9/00

US Classification:

713189

Abstract:

Disclosed below are representative embodiments of methods, apparatus, and systems for monitoring and using data in an electric power grid. For example, one disclosed embodiment comprises a sensor for measuring an electrical characteristic of a power line, electrical generator, or electrical device; a network interface; a processor; and one or more computer-readable storage media storing computer-executable instructions. In this embodiment, the computer-executable instructions include instructions for implementing an authorization and authentication module for validating a software agent received at the network interface; instructions for implementing one or more agent execution environments for executing agent code that is included with the software agent and that causes data from the sensor to be collected; and instructions for implementing an agent packaging and instantiation module for storing the collected data in a data container of the software agent and for transmitting the software agent, along with the stored data, to a next destination.

International Classification:

H02J 7/00
H02S 40/38
H01M 10/42
H02S 10/12

Abstract:

A method for coordinated control of a renewable electrical energy source (RES) and an electrical energy storage (EES) device utilizes a time-dependent forecast of electrical energy production by the RES and a state of charge (SOC) schedule for the EES including at least one SOC target value. A time-varying charge/discharge control signal is configured to ensure that the SOC schedule is satisfied by charging at a rate necessary to meet the SOC target value, while periodically updating the generation of the charge/discharge control signal based upon an updated time-dependent forecast of electrical energy production and/or an updated SOC schedule. A configurable refresh period may be used to limit updates of the time-varying control signal including computation and use of a new basepoint value for aggregated energy supplied from the RES−ESS facility to an electrical grid.
